A Dissenting Thought to Nehor's Celestial Faith Based Thread

[_skippy the dead]

In this light, the main problem is that whenever JAK would participate in a Celestial Thread, it would ALWAYS degenerate into whether or not God exists and/or whether the Bible is a reliable guide. NOTHING ELSE COULD GET DONE. We're merely trying to facilitate a greater breadth of discussion by allowing a thread-starter to position the starting line wherever he or she sees fit.

Then tell JAK to knock it the hell off if he's killing every thread and delete posts that do not suit the particular forum. New rules serve no purpose.

(Man - I cannot leave this alone. Must ... pry ... keyboard ... from hands)

I can't stop posting on this topic, either. I also can't stop giggling about Bocock the baseball player. I've been thinking of play by plays using his name all day...

So your answer is to censor a single poster?

Of all your crusading that we're destroying the board and THAT suggestion doesn't mutilate the principles on which this board was founded or set a horrible precedence???

See, I told you there was good in baseball.

(For the unwashed masses, Brian Bocock is the Giants' rookie starting SS until Vizquel comes back. His name makes for some very good play by play possibilities: "Bocock got good wood on that pitch" "Bocock goes deep into the hole for that one" "Will Bocock rise to the occasion" "With his current success, will Bocock's head swell?" etc.)

Oh c'mon - don't tell me you didn't think about it. But really, if we're trying to solve a singular problem, shouldn't there be a narrowly tailored solution? Maybe that's not really the right one, but the alternative suggested is truly poor.

I'm going to try to go away from this again. It's ridiculous, and all the opinions expressed don't seem to make any bit of difference. Like I said half a billion pages ago - whatever.

I don't want this board to turn into MAD. Please just have someone do a better job of moderating up in the Celestial.

More rules = less fun

That's just it. This is our effort to moderate better in the Celestial.

I agree, but receiving lots and lots of complaints in my InBox = less fun, too.
